Nobody's said anything about Jack Watts being on TFS. Let's keep it that way.

D'oh!!

    OD, I am, like all our supporters fully aware of how crap we have been. That's no reason to throw judgement out the window and be overly-negative about every rumour and speculation and to do so with such gusto and relish. That might be an emotional response, but I doubt whether it does any good for the readers of this forum or for the club. I also doubt it is useful therapy for the writers.

    well said

    I heard the Lions have a huge debt. How are they going to get Roos at the big figures that are being touted for him? I am unaware of any generous benafactors or handouts from the AFL at this stage.

    "The financially-stricken Lions have already asked the AFL for additional funding, and Johnson said if granted, that would go "exclusively" towards football operations."

    All I was suggesting Sue is that supporters are starved for anything positive to talk about.

    So they hang on anything that might generate a change in our situation.

    someone see him on a dawn flight at Ess airport ?

    He must really be getting sick of having to wake up at the crack of dawn to catch all of these 5:30am flights.

    But the ones I'm referring to don't hang on things that might change the situation. They just hang the club at every turn.

    Roos again today said that at the moment he wasn't interested in coaching.

    Hey worst case is that we are up to 101 pages of will he, won't he.

    Thanks for that Mr Roos cause we still have no farting idea who is coaching us "at the moment".

    Oh the joy.

    One thing is for sure. Wherever Roos ends up the spotlight will be well and truly on him. He knows this. The question is, will he succeed or end up looking like a rabbit in the headlights? An aura has been created around him. I think he is good at coaching but is he really THAT good? Who knows but I have my doubts.

    Also said tonight he had a soft spot for the ol' Roys...the Lions. also he may entertain coaching but not atm.

    Tami has spoken. Brissy looks good to her.

    You really do have to wonder why Voss was necked , in this manner, at this time, without someone in the wings.

    I really dont believe anyone.. especially when a TV camera is involved !!

    Alternative is simply they wanted to get into the market for a replacement before the end of season. Wondering is all we are doing.

    You could actually do that without being so over the top, so public. Not necessarily mutually dependent.

    Have to agree. The high profile coach as messiah can lead to disappointment. See Mick Malthouse. We were desperately keen on him and thankfully didn't.

    Cards, I will write him off as the bloke who was going to come and instantly gift Carlton a Premiership. Remember, that was his original brief.

    Fair point Old Dee. Having said that, both had the knack of separating themselves from their players performances. MM just gets paid more to do so atm

    I think its all a big Roos to deflect from the fact that he is not coming to the Dees but as others have Hird he is going to the Bombers.......Voss! :lol:

    A Joyce at Bulldogs

    A Jesaulenko at St K

    R Barrassi, One messiah success. Two failed.

    True Messiahs

    M Malthouse, on the way to fail at scumland?

    L Mathews.

    D Parkin, had a failed stint at Fitzroy in between.

    We have have less than 30% chance of landing a true messiah. But thats better than what we have gotten for decades. A big challenge ahead.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
